Technical Abstract

An image-based acceptance learning device (2) learns a result of determination as to whether a planar object (1) is acceptable or defective based on at least one of a three-dimensional shape or a color on a surface of the planar object (1). The device (2) includes a surface image receiver (3) to receive an inputted two-dimensional data being image data of the surface of the planar object (1), a determination information receiver (4) to receive an inputted determination information indicating the result of determination as to whether the planar object (1) corresponding to the two-dimensional data is acceptable or defective, and a learner (5) to learn, based on the two-dimensional data and the determination information, a relevant area (1R) including the three-dimensional shape or the color on the surface in the two-dimensional data. The relevant area is a basis for the determination information.

Patent Claims
11 claims

Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

2

2. The image-based acceptance learning device according to claim 1, wherein the two-dimensional data includes, as the three-dimensional shape, at least one of a woven pattern formed on the surface, unevenness formed on the surface, or a component mounted on the surface or includes, as the color, at least one of a drawing pattern on the surface, transparency, or a printed wiring pattern.

3

3. The image-based acceptance learning device according to claim 1, wherein the inputted two-dimensional data includes information indicating the relevant area.

4

4. The image-based acceptance learning device according to claim 1, wherein the inputted determination information includes information indicating the relevant area.

5

5. The image-based acceptance learning device according to claim 1, wherein the learning circuitry generates determination information corresponding to the linear one-dimensional data based on the inputted determination information corresponding to the two-dimensional data for a unit of a piece of the linear one-dimensional data including the relevant area.

8

8. The image-based acceptance learning device according to claim 7, wherein the image-based acceptance determining circuitry extracts a basis area in the new two-dimensional data corresponding to the relevant area learned by the learning circuitry for each piece of new one-dimensional data, the basis area being a basis for the determination.

15

15. The image-based acceptance learning device according to claim 1, wherein the relevant area includes an area of the surface of the planar object that is a basis for a determination that the planar object is acceptable.

19

19. The system according to claim 18, wherein the sensor element array outputs the new one-dimensional data to the new-surface-image receiver upon generation of a piece of the new one-dimensional data.

21

21. The image-based acceptance determination device according to claim 20, wherein the two-dimensional data includes, as the three-dimensional shape, at least one of a woven pattern formed on the surface, unevenness formed on the surface, or a component mounted on the surface or includes, as the color, at least one of a drawing pattern on the surface, transparency, or a printed wiring pattern.

22

22. The image-based acceptance determination device according to claim 20, wherein the inputted the two-dimensional data includes information indicating the relevant area.

23

23. The image-based acceptance determination device according to claim 20, wherein the inputted the determination information includes information indicating the relevant area.

26

26. The image-based acceptance determination device according to claim 25, wherein the sensor element array outputs the new one-dimensional data to the new-surface-image receiver upon generation of a piece of the new one-dimensional data.
